I use my laptop's onboard mic for communication, and it's clear. It's a Lenovo y580. When I plug in headphones standard headphones, I talk, people hear me, but I can't hear myself. It feels weird. I'm used to hearing what I said, like with other headsets. I just think I don't really need one if my laptop's onboard microphone is going to suffice. Is there any way to enable playback like that? Windows has that "hear yourself" feature but it's idiotic, I want to hear myself when I actually use the mic, not all the time. Do you guys have any ideas?

Holy shit we've managed to find someone who [b][i]does[/i][/b] like the echoing of your own voice back into your ears. Well shit, I don't know what to say, you're not supposed to be able to hear your own voice echo back, I mean, it would be like chatting to someone and them repeating back what you said to them. The fact that you can't hear your own voice means it's a very good microphone
its like the fucking speech jammer thing though, how the hell do you guys do it? i feel retarded and like i have no idea what i just said
...How do you not know what you just said? Actually, don't answer that. The only way I know how to possibly be able to have it echo is to set your microphone sensitivity higher, otherwise you will have to use the Windows thing or some other software to do it, if you use software to do it, you can use the Windows volume mixer to make said software be quieter than the rest of the sounds
Have you tried rebooting? [spoiler]:dance:[/spoiler]

If you have noise cancelling headphones, you literally can not hear what you are saying, I'm not used to it is all
